Timekeeper- Allow up to 30 seconds for each group member to talk. After the question is read, it is your job to start timing the person, whether you use the clock, a watch, a stopwatch, or your own counting! When it is your turn to talk, have someone else time you. This job helps keep your group on task.
Questioner- Your job is to read the questions provided. Each question should receive answers from all group members, including yourself, so switch roles accordingly. This job makes sure each individual gets asked a question.
Peacekeeper- Your job is probably the most important job here. It is to make sure each person gets a chance to speak (that means EVERYONE in the group) and that no one interrupts the other when someone is speaking. If you feel too uncomfortable to do this job, you can ask someone to trade. You are doing the group good if you give everyone an equal change to speak though, so don’t be shy and speak up if someone interrupts.
Announcer- You will summarize to the rest of the class what your group talked about after the activity is done. This job is important so the class can know the conclusions you came to.
